Etape Pennines - October 2012

Anyone know what the Gold/Silver/Bronze times were - I can't seem to find them

@John_c - I didn't stop at the last one. My planned stops were feed stations 2 and 4 and the ride went pretty much to plan, except for coming in well under my 6-hour target.

No idea of times for medals, sorry.
TBH I was quite surprised how many rider didn't stop at the last feed station. At a guess I'd say less than 10% of the first 200 - 250 rider past food station 5 actually stopped.
Yet stations 1&2 were cleared of all food before all riders passed through?

Feed station 1 was surprisingly busy - I'd not intended stopping here because it was too early in the ride
Feed station 2 was busy, and I'm not surprised they ran out of food.
Feed station 3 - that was busier than I thought it'd be since it was just for water
Feed station 4 - quiet when I got there, lots of stuff
Feed station 5 - seemed busy but I was shifting it when I went past.

Sounds like a great day with similar good organisation to the Caledonian version - wish i had been able to do it.
